FAQs

Are the Merrell Moab Speed 2 waterproof?

The standard Moab Speed 2 model features a breathable mesh upper and is not waterproof. For waterproof protection, Merrell offers GORE-TEX variants of their hiking shoes.

What is the main difference between the Moab Speed and Moab Speed 2?

The Moab Speed 2 builds upon the original Moab Speed by incorporating feedback from hikers worldwide, refining comfort, durability, and performance features for an updated trail experience.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

While designed for speed and agility on trails, they are primarily classified as hiking shoes. They offer more support and durability than typical trail running shoes, making them suitable for fast hiking or light trail running, but not for highly technical trail running.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to Merrell's sizing chart for accurate measurements. It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking, ideally at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen.

What is the lifespan of the Floatpro™ Foam midsole?

The Floatpro™ Foam is engineered for durability and long-lasting comfort. However, like all cushioning materials, its responsiveness will gradually decrease with extensive use over many miles and years.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Moab Speed 2 generally offers a moderate fit. While some users find them accommodating, individuals with very wide feet may prefer to try them on or look for models specifically designed for wider widths if available.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or cause rubbing

Allow for a break-in period with shorter walks. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing thicker or thinner socks depending on your needs.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces

The Vibram® TC5+ outsole provides good grip, but wet surfaces can be challenging for any footwear. Clean the outsole regularly to remove caked-on mud or debris. For extremely slick conditions, consider using trekking poles for added stability.

Feet feel warm or sweaty

The mesh upper is designed for breathability, but in very hot conditions or during intense exertion, some warmth is expected. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Clean the insoles if odor becomes an issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort for long-distance hiking.
  • Lightweight design aids in maintaining speed and reducing fatigue.
  • Durable construction suitable for challenging trail conditions.
  • Reliable grip on various surfaces thanks to the Vibram® outsole.
  • Good breathability helps manage foot temperature.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Not designed for extreme mountaineering or off-trail technical terrain.
  • Water resistance may be limited in very wet conditions compared to full waterproof boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no assembly. They are ready to wear out of the box. It is recommended to wear them for shorter walks initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility: The Moab Speed 2 is designed as a standalone hiking shoe. It is compatible with standard hiking socks. For optimal performance and foot protection, pair with moisture-wicking socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent odor and material degradation.
